The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Three days have passed since we captured the kidnappers.

In the meantime, we had to interrogate them, and we were able to extract information from them more easily than we had expected .......

Well, with Nair's special human ability and Hanna's magic, they had nothing to hide, but the fact that the kidnappers looked so weak was probably one of the reasons.

<<>

No, I feel sorry that I have been affected so much already.

But it was worth it. The information we obtained was useful for both us and the demons.

I think I understand why the Demon Lord finds you interesting.

"Don't you understand?"

After the interrogation, I was even more dismayed by what Amira said to me as I was slumped over in the other room.

This man was also present at the interrogation, but he seemed to be a little taken aback by the reactions of the kidnappers.

"There's hardly a time when this guy doesn't try something funny."

Koga, who was sitting opposite me, said this with amusement.

"I'm not always doing interesting things," he said.

"You've been doing some crazy shit all the time, at least for the past two months."

You're right, "always" is a bit of a stretch: ......!!!

What the hell do you think I am?

Your messenger and Hannah were all over the place.

"I've learned that when the interests of a bad girl duo coincide, it's a big deal. ......"

Both of them had a very strange way of interrogating people.

I couldn't see them, but they were probably showing me some of their memories of when I caught them as an illusionary magic.

In doing so, Nair was verbally chasing them down.

During this time, both of them are smiling the whole time.

It was really devilish of them to catch up with me like a fish out of water even though I was right behind them.

I am left wondering why they were shaking at times when they saw me. ...... Well, let's not worry about that.

"But you got the information you needed."

"Yes, I'll just leave the rest to the higher-ups."

An assembled bridge prepared for the clandestine infiltration of the Demon Lord's territory.

The names and identities of the slavers who hired the kidnappers.

The place and time they were supposed to deliver the kidnapped children.

I conveyed this information to the Kingdom of Lingle in Hooverdale.

"You can rest assured that we will not be able to do so until we have captured the main group of people. But at least we should strengthen our security to prevent such a thing from happening in the future.

At first glance, this may seem like a solution, but there are still many issues that need to be addressed in the Demon Lord's territory.

As I was thinking this, suddenly someone knocked on the door of the room we were in.

"What's wrong?"

Amira-san responds to the knock.

It's probably a security guard, but what's going on?

<

"To Usato?"

"I haven't heard anything. ...... Keira?"

Well, if that's the case, it's a little quicker, but .......

I asked him to let me in, but it was not Keira but Amako who came in.

"Is Usato there?"

"Oh, it's Amako. Did you come alone?

"I was with Kannagi until halfway, but she said she had to talk to the Demon King, so I came here alone."

So that's how it is.

Well, now that Amako is here, I guess I'd better get Nair back and head to my next appointment.

I'm going to see Keira now.

"I don't mind. Do you want to go check on Lam?

"Yes, that's one thing, but I also want to talk to Keira."

"Talk?"

Amako tilts her head and I think it's a good time to explain to Amira and Koga that the Demon Lord has proposed to leave Keira in the care of the rescue team.

After listening to the explanation, the three men looked surprised but satisfied.

"You're going to send that girl to the Lingle Kingdom ......? I see. It's true that the current demon king's territory is unstable in some areas, so it would be safer to leave her with you guys.

"Well, Keira's dark magic is a rare type. I can understand your concern that demons might target her.

It's quite different compared to the aggressive dark magic of the Kogas.

But then again, Koga himself has only recently discovered the strange ability of altering himself, so I guess I can't speak for others too much.

"Couldn't Koga fly too if he wanted to?"

"Of course he could, but even if he flew with my magic wings, he would just be gliding. Keira's magic is unusual because it doesn't matter if it's wings or not, it floats.

"...... indeed."

Keira's dark magic is more like floating than flying.

It's not that she's flapping her wings, but that she floats on a mysterious principle, so perhaps the demon king appreciates that part of her magic.

"That's why we're going."

"Oh, I'll take care of the rest. "Oh, I'm sure Amira will take care of the rest.

Hey, leave it to others.

Koga glances at Amira, who is smiling at him, and she is smirking at him, looking rather angry.

"Oh, come on, what's with that smile? It's creepy. ......?"

"Kkkkkk, it's about time."

What?　What are you...

At that moment, the door opens with a bang, almost onomatopoeic, and a girl with long braided hair --- Senri-sama --- bursts into the room.

"I heard that Koga-san takes his work seriously!

"What?　Senri?

I called her in advance.

"You guys don't have a connection!"

...... Oh.

I introduced her to Amira during the early morning training today when she mentioned that she would like to talk to Senri, but I didn't ...... think it was for this?

"Oh, so that's why Amira-san said she wanted to talk to Senri-sama before she came here."

Yeah, we got along better than I thought we would.

"Yes, we met once and became friends!"

It's like they became friends through physical language or something. ......?

I was surprised at this, and Koga, looking desperate, pointed at me.

"You can't be serious!　You, Usato!　You're responsible for helping..."

"Ah, ah!　Amako!　I'll be there as soon as I can!

At any rate, I went outside with Amako and closed the door before the fire could spread to me.

After that, I hear Koga's vindictive voice, but ...... well, I hope he'll do well at this point.

"What's next, Usato?"

"I'm going to pick up Nair, who's in the other room, doing his dirty work."

We walk to the room where Neah and Hannah, a pair of evil women, are currently working on a plan to further interrogate the kidnappers.

As I do so, Amako, who was walking next to me, looks up at me.

"Is it true that Keira is coming to the Lingle Kingdom?"

"As far as I'm concerned, Keira's will is the highest priority, so she'll have to make the final decision.

As in the case of Ferrum, it is the person's will that counts first.

We can't force them to leave because Keira's family, the Grefs, are here.

"But I think Keira will do well in the rescue group ......."

"I'm sure we'll get along somehow."

He may be only a child, but he has not been traveling with Mr. Gref for a long time.

He probably knows more than I do when it comes to travel experience.

The problem is the tin.

"....... Like Nair, do you guys think he's dangerous?"

"I don't think he's dangerous, but I do think he's weird."

Amako's words are very sharp.

"What does Usato think of Suzune?"

"What do you think ......?"

That's a bit of a change of pace.

Amako looked up at me in distress and continued to speak.

"For some reason, I've never heard of anything like that."

"Hmmm ......"

I don't know, it's like a being that cheers me up when he is around me.

It's hard to describe in words. .......

I thought about it for a few seconds and managed to answer with a groan.

"I don't tell him, but I respect him ...... and think he's a great person. I'm not going to tell ...... him, but..."

"Say it twice: ......."

I'm too embarrassed to tell him.

He's going to either make fun of me or be embarrassed.

"Well, here we are."

We arrive at the room where Nair is, knock on the door, and open it.

And then..,

"Hmmm, how about we use Devil Usato here to scare them even more and make them throw up?"

"Uh-huh, that sounds good. Since these idiots are probably doing a lot of evil things they haven't confessed yet, let's make them tell us all about their other crimes along with their screams of fear.

""Mmmmmmmmmmmm.""

""......""

Once the door is closed, Amaco looks at each other and sighs.

I was kind of glad they were on our side.

I wonder if I'll have to get in on the duo's shenanigans now at .........

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do anything about it.

We take Néa, who has been misbehaving, with us to the house where Keira and her friends live.

Since we had told them in advance that we were coming, Ram and Rose greeted us right away and we went to talk with Keira and Mr. Greffe.

"---That's why."

"A proposal from the Demon Lord. Keira, what do you want?"

I quickly explained what I wanted to do, and Mr. Gref nodded his head and asked Keira.

Well, I don't think I'm going to get an answer right away, so I pause for a moment and..,

"I'll be there."

"What?"

"I'm coming."

So, immediate answer ......?

I was surprised at Keira's answer, as if she was already leaning forward on the table, but Amako and Nea seemed to know exactly what I was talking about.

"Well, I guess you're right.

"I don't need to see it as a premonition."

I was the only one who didn't understand. ......?

No, but it's the Kingdom of Lingle, right?

Even though it's a neighboring kingdom, it's far away from the demon king's territory,...... and isn't it great that you can make a decision or something so quickly,......?

I want to go to Lingle Kingdom!

I'm going to be away from Gref for a while.

"I'm fine!"

"I'm fine!" "Fine"?

I looked at Mr. Greff and he nodded his head with a wry smile.

He nodded his head while smiling at me. "I know it's Keira's own choice, but I have no reason to oppose leaving her with you guys.

"Yes, is that so?"

I wouldn't do it to those guys, would I?　You're the only one I'm trusting with it.

Mr. Gref's words of trust make me a little itchy.

"In fact, I'd say your organization is the safest place on the continent. Ha-ha-ha."

"No. ......... Oh, maybe. Ha-ha-ha."

I was about to deny it, but then I thought of Rose and the other members of the rescue team and realized that I was not mistaken.

Nagi will be here just in time for Keira's return. .......

"But I'm worried about whether she'll be able to manage on her own."

Oh, then don't worry. Nair and Ferrum are also in the lifeguard dormitory, so you won't have to worry about that. There are also other children of the same age.

And the seniors.

Ferrum may be a little sloppy, but Nair is quite a caring person, so you can trust him to take care of you.

"I can't help it. I'll take care of her.

"You're not even a little bit surprised."

"What did I say?"

Amako mumbles in a whisper, and Nair stares at her with a stern stare.

...... But Keira is coming to the Kingdom of Lingle?

She's only known the Demon King's territory up until now, and this will be her first chance to get to know the outside world.

"Keira, good luck!"

"Yeah, I'll be your best pupil. ......!

"Oh, oh ......?"

It is amazing that he is so motivated.

"...... Lingle Kingdom, huh?"

Soon our two-month stay will be over and we will return to the Kingdom of Lingle.

Although we have lost some of our baskets in this short time, we have gained a lot in terms of technology. But I know that it is not enough.

The challenges are endless, but we will continue to move forward as we have in the past.
